"I spent one month living in a rural village in West Sumatra," said Philip Chan.

"I was very fortunate to be elected amongst the Australians as the male Community Development leader.

"We taught English and Aussie sports at the schools, trekked through the jungle with the villagers to repair an irrigation pipe, built a volleyball court, refurbished the health clinics, trained the women with business skills and developed people-to-people links with the local dancing and sporting clubs."Currently, I am in the city of Bukittinggi, completing a work placement with the Department of Law and Human Rights."
